CYRIL MEJAC Obituary
Dr. CYRIL J. MEJAC (Age 88)
Passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 in Silver Spring, MD. Beloved husband of 52 years to Maria. Father of Gabrielle (John) Dawyot and Thaddeus (Ann Marie) Mejac. He was born in Savna Pec, Slovenia and studied extensively in Europe, earning his doctorate at the University of Madrid, and immigrating to the United States in 1956. He spent over 30 years teaching, retiring from High Point High School. A devout Catholic, he was fiercely proud of his Slovenian heritage, but his greatest joy was his family, particularly his six grandchildren Suzanna, John Jr., Monica, Joanna, Elizabeth and Claire. He was predeceased by his brothers Konrad and Peter Mejac. In addition to his family, he is also survived by three sisters Cirila Novak, Pavla Potokar and Zofka Orozen, all of Slovenia, and numerous relatives and friends both here and abroad. Visitation will be held at St. John the Evangelist Historic Church, 9700 Rosensteel Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20910 on Saturday, March, 2 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1:30 p.m. Interment St. John's Cemetery.

Dr. Mejac was my French language teacher at High Point High School in the early 1970's. He was very knowledgable and patient. My most sincere condolences to his family. I am very sorry for your loss.
